Can you trust what you read on the internet anymore? Social media connects people around the world in ways never imagined possible. Breaking news, like the Boston Marathon tragedy, sometimes hits Twitter before even the major news outlets can pick it up.

The mainstream news media did destroy itself by lack of journalistic standards, biased reporting with special agendas and not proper fact checking. Traditional media had jumped the shark a long time ago, according my view. Social media is developing the news landscape to a new level, but you still have to do background checking, check your premises when you read the content, go to the original source, etc.
